Soyo SY-5EHM/5EH5 User Manual

To avoid damage to your mainboard, follow these simple rules while

unpacking:

Ø Before handling the mainboard, ground yourself by grasping an

unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.

Ø Remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the

mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its components.

Ø Check the mainboard for damage. If any chip appears loose,

press carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.

Warning: Do not apply power if the mainboard appears

damaged. If there is damage to the board, contact your

dealer immediately.

Make sure to ground yourself before handling the mainboard or

other system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily

damage the components. Note that you must take special

precautions when handling the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned

environment.

To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the

following precautions:

Ø Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to

install.

Ø Ground yourself before removing any system component from

its protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp

the expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the

computer chassis.)

Ø Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding

strap.
